WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1873;
THE TREATY.

Should the news of the ratification
of the treaty for seven years be con-
frmed by the mail due today the
occasion will be worthy of a grand
demonstration on the part of all the
residents of the Kingdom. True,
there is an alloy in the situation, even
if the treaty is all right, in the shape of
the prospective reduction in the sugar
duty imposed by the United States on
the products Of countries other than
Hawaii Yet tariffs are curious things,
changes therein often working differ
emily from the calculations of those
who make them. 1t is possible that
the proposed reduction might not be
so severe blow to Hawaiian interests
as many people apprehend- AT any
rate, if the treaty is confirmed, let us
rejoice for the favorable settlement Of
our fate thus far
There is a possibility Of hitch in
the compact on the side Of Hawaii, on
account Of the treaty being referred to
her with clause for the cession Of a
naval station in Pearl Harbor to the
United States The Minister Of For
eign Affairs, Mr. Gibson, has with
great vehemence protested in the Leg
islature that His Majesty's Ministers
would never assent to the ceding of a
foot Of Hawaiian territory to any for
eign Power But then that gentleman
has protested other standards of policy
with equal warmth, only to disclaim
them when it suited his convenience
in cases where position was pitted
against principle. Therefore, the Pre-
mier may be counted on to have very
plausible explanation ready for the
next Legislative Assembly, to show the
native home rulers that an American
naval establishment close to the Ha-
waiian capital is the best possible
security of Hawaiian independence. 1t
is not likely that His Majesty will be
ready to risk the prosperity OF the
country for the sake Of sentimental
computations about giving friendly
Power such as America small plot Of
Hawaiian territory on which to estab'
fish a desired naval station. In case
the matter is regarded in this common
sense light by the King, all the rant o.
Ministers in the House and in theil
organ last year go fornothing. Minis
tiers have come to be recognized in thi:
country as the mouthpieces rather thar
the advisers of the Crown. There il
said to be great change in Influential
native opinion of late regarding the
Pearl Harbor question. Some Ha
waiian citizens have, at all events
been heard to express views in favor o.
America getting the territory required
for naval station, on account Of the
pecuniary benefit OF such an es
Enlistment to every material interes
Of the country. 1t may be said tina
Hawaii might, from the presence o
such an institution, be liable to dangel
in the event of the United States be
ing at war with another Power. There
is, however, not so much fear o
trouble on that score as there is from
Hawaii owning a toy war vessel de
signed to carry her supernumerary
politicians among Pacific groups tina
